!!!Please Help with AE headlight conversion!!!

I checked the how to section but the link does not work. I took my headlights out, and have them in my house. What do I have to do next? do I take my heat gun and run it around the housing and seperate the lights??

here are some pics:

I did this to my Altima. When I did it I used a hairdrier to seperate the headlights. But im sure a heat gun will work even better, just run it around the housing and it will seperate pretty easily

Yep...I used a hairdryer too, and got a buddy to use a screwdriver and slowly pry the lense away from the housing while I was heating up the gaps in the headlight with the dryer.
